Apparently, one person makes the call on what Michigan State football wears on game days. That’s head coach Jonathan Smith.
Smith held his weekly press conference on Monday, and was asked about who decides what uniform combinations Michigan State wears on game day. He confirmed that he makes the call.
Check out the full quote from Smith — courtesy of Detroit Free Press reporter Chris Solari:
UNIFORM UPDATE: Jonathan Smith says it's his decision as to what MSU wears each week. "I got the title, so I make the call." h/t to @StephenM_Brooks for the important rivalry week question.

The question from 247Sports’ reporter Stephen Brooks comes after some backlash on the lack of uniform variety from the Spartans. Over the past few years, Michigan State wore different helmets and uniforms each week, but this season, the Spartans are keeping it standard from week to week.
Hopefully, Michigan State football will break out some new different helmets soon — including my personal favorites that include the Gruff Sparty logo.
